I have a Denon AVR-2106. Yesterday I was testing/fixing some speakers I got for free they had a bad midrange not anymore though.

I was putting the speaker back together and I had a speaker wire hooked up to the B-Speakers output on my Denon. It was laying on the ground in moving things around I believe the wire may have crossed it's ends. Whatever happened my stereo shut down and will not start back up. The power button\light flashes continuously after the normal startup time has passed.

Basically when you turn it on it looks like everything is good than it shuts down blinking red. According to the manual this indicates "Speaker terminals are short circuited" among other things that do not apply here.

I removed the B wire as well as the other speaker wires just to test and nothing or should I say same thing, shutdown. I am pretty sure it is the "Protection Circuit" but why won't it fire up if even all the speaker wires are disconnected. This is not a heat issue either because it's 2 day's later and still no go.

Another thing I have done is reset the Microproccesor several times to no avail. I talked to a guy at the store I bought it from and one of them said there was a way to reset the Protection circuit but I beleive he meant the Microproccesor.

Any ideas?

This sucks I smoke my receiver fixing some piece of crap free speakers.

Thanks Dono
